BRUSSELS, Belgium - The bodies of two young African stowaways were found frozen to death Monday in the wheel well of a Belgian jetliner. Ground crew members found the bodies as they refueled the Airbus at Brussels' airport after a flight from West Africa. The plane, operated by Belgium's Sabena airline, had flown from Conakry, Guinea, to Brussels via Bamako, Mali. A spokesman said it wasn't known where the boys, about 15 years old, had boarded. Police said they had not identified the pair.
